HBO Will Submit Beyoncé's 'Lemonade' for Emmy Consideration

Like many people, we still haven’t recovered from Lemonade. Ever since h HBO special debuted on Saturday, the visual album is all anyone can talk about and now there’s more info to add to the discussion because HBO plans to submit the special for Emmy consideration.

Variety reports that HBO is working out the details, but Kahlil Joseph and Beyoncé will be credited as directors while the premium cable network tries to iron out whether Melina Matsoukas, Todd Tourso, Dikayl Rimmasch, Jonas Akerlund and Mark Romanek can be added as “additional directors.”

Beyoncé previously received Emmy nominations for her On The Run Tour concert special with Jay Z and Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show. Lemonade has been praised by critics, so it seems that it could be a shoo-in for an Emmy nomination. Fingers-crossed that the queen can add this jewel to her crown.
